Apparently graphviz has a binary called gc and now there are two manpages on the same topic, one for the gc binary from graphviz and one for the gc libraries...

Yes, that's why I added this as a bug to gc, because gc 7.1-1 seems to not have that problem. So this should be a packaging problem.

The new gc man page should probably go to section 3 of the manual; this would avoid the collision.

It belongs in section 3, being a library and not a user command. Just a refresher: http://www.december.com/unix/ref/mansec.html

- install -m644 doc/gc.man "${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man1/gc.1"
+ install -m644 doc/gc.man "${pkgdir}/usr/share/man/man3/gc.3"
